This study will test the contention of Hall (2016) that Internet use is inversely correlated with happiness. In his study of Internet use, Hall found that the longer individuals spent online per day, the lower their measures of personal satisfaction. This study will attempt to further explore Hall's findings, namely to determine if specific types of Internet use (social media versus research-based use) are more likely to have a negative impact on adolescent's moods. Adolescence is often noted as a particularly fraught time in most individual's personal history and a crucial period of self-definition. Adolescents are also believed to be at higher risk for online bullying, Internet addiction, or simply using the Internet as a frequent form of communication and social connection. The study will also refine Hall's broad definition of happiness/unhappiness by assessing student's self-esteem, locus of control, and levels of depression.

HA: Students with high levels of Internet consumption of social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat) will have lower levels of measured self-esteem, less of a sense of control over their lives, and higher levels of depression than students who use the Internet primarily for other reasons (such as schoolwork, watching movies, playing games), as well as students who do not access the Internet much at all.

Approximately one in six students enrolled in a college or university, or over 3 million individuals, participated in one or more online course in 2004.
